No, mines not for sale. But I do see in my latest issue of Summit Racing's Sport Compact catalog that you can now buy the Addco rear bar separately. Part #ACO-693, $149.95. A bit more than I paid 2 years ago, but this appears to be all nice and powder coated, where mine was bare.

Matt,
Is this bar adjustable and are the endlinks heim jointed?
I am currently running a stock front bar with poly bushings and a ST rear swaybar and want one i can adjust preload and stiffness with.
Thanks for the part number as well!

I do not know if it's adjustable. The only adjustable one I for sure know of in the N-tech bar.

Thanks to the info Matt.
BTW I have been unemployed for 10 months now going on 11. IT industry sucks too.
Find a job soon.

Yesterday I started thinking about what it would take to make a kit that would convert the standard rear ST bar endlinks to heim joints to avoid the bind up. That, plus the ability to adjust the stiffness.
Think something like that could be sold?

I think all it would take would be some steel "U" channels bolted to the bar and to the bottom bracket with small carriage bolts and locknuts and of course the heim joints with a locknut.
I have thought of this too but it looked like the links may get too long and put the bar at a wierd angle. I wasn't shure how big a difference that would make over the bolt the bar uses already.
Still I think it may be worth looking into and for the right price you could have potentially a few hundred customers maybe?

I've started a new thread in the autocross forum, and now that I think about it, maybe that wasn't the best place.
Yeah, one of the problems I was seeing was that the whole end link assembly would get too long like you mentioned. Especially for lowered cars.
Heim joints aren't expensive, so the cost of the kit could be pretty cheap. If the kit was just heim joints, then there might not be a big demand, but if you could turn it into a kit that allowed for some adjustability in the stiffness, that could sell.
